Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to ensure that new Best Start Family Hubs embed a strong local parental voice in their governance.

​Ensuring every child has the best start in life, the chance to achieve and to thrive, are the foundation stones of the government’s Opportunity Mission.

Best Start Family Hubs will involve parents in hub design and delivery, working with parents through panels. We are investing in targeted community outreach activities, including accessing existing networks via the voluntary and community sector and local data to reach underserved groups, including fathers, minority ethnic communities, and young parents.
